The best players to ever play in the English Premier League
Ryan Giggs: Ryan Joseph Giggs, more commonly known as Ryan Giggs is a left winger who plays for Manchester United. Giggs has spent his entire career playing at Old Trafford. He made his debut for the team in the early 1990’s and has continued
to play with the team to date. He is however now used as a playmaker instead of a winger, due to his age which has reduced his pace over time.
Giggs has won numerous awards during his prestigious career with the team, he is quite possibly the most acknowledged and decorated player in the English Premier League. When he won the League title with United in 2009, he became the first player in the
history of the league to win eleven Premier League, winners medals. He was also the first player ever to win two consecutive PFA young Player of the Year awards, he is also the only player to have scored in every single season of the Premier League to date.
Giggs has had tremendous success in his domestic and continental career, he is the first player to have scored in eleven consecutive matches in the UEFA Champions league. He also earned the honours of being selected in the PFA’s team of the Century in 2007.
He was also included in the Premier Leagues team of the decade in 2003, as well as the FA Cup team of the century. Giggs is also the only player on the United team to have won May 2008, Giggs surpassed Sir Bobby Charlton’s record for holding the most appearances
for Manchester United and is now the current holder of that record, that he wishes to stretch for as long as he can.
Giggs has also been a part of the Welsh national team, however the player retired in 2007 due to some internal team politics. He was also the youngest player ever to represent his home team. Giggs has also been named in the Football League 100 Legends team
along with that he was inducted in the English Football Hall of Fame in 2005.
It is more than evident that Giggs as a player has won more awards and trophies then teams have in their entire history. Giggs is not only one of the best players on the pitch, but is also one of the best people one could meet in general. He has not let
his incomparable success get to his head and has managed to stay grounded for the most part of his life.
Giggs has said that he doesn’t plan on retiring any time soon, since he wishes to achieve even more than what he already has. If any other player had made those claims, everyone would have laughed them off. However that has not been the case, despite being
in his mid thirties Giggs still takes the field, with the same hunger that he had when he was just coming out as a player looking to make his mark on the team. It is his undying passion, desire and hunger to win that truly sets him apart from being an ordinary
player. It is quite safe to say that Giggs is the greatest player to ever play in the Premier League and its going to close to impossible for anyone to beat his records in the near future.
